You’ve got to be kidding! This was the first thought that ran through my head when I scooped up this piece of information about the Lytro camera on Twitter this morning. I love technology and i LOVE cameras and the realization that I hadn’t seen this coming made me want to beat my head against […]

Coming back to Sweden was like traveling through time. After a week of slow internet connections, working from my favorite cafe on a mobile internet connection with the specs you can see in this speed test is just such a relief. Maybe Telia should send their customers abroad to work from time to time so […]

In Ayn Rand’s classic novel The Fountainhead, the hero architect Howard Roark has a very clear philosophy for he thinks is good design. Authenticity and being true to the function and purpose of the design object is good, while going all ornamental and trying to mimic something else is evil. The same principal seems to […]

Last night we were at the Boeing Museum of Flight. And sure, the muesum was cool and all, but really, there was one thing that was really the reason to go there. One BIG thing: Check out the size of Jocke in relation to this Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird in the pic above. Now, take into […]

Yesterday was another day at the Microsoft HQ, completely jam-packed with information about technologies, strategies and philosophies. When piecing everything together a picture starts to emerge: convergence. Everybody is talking about HTML5, Java Script and touch; everybody is talking about cloud computing and Microsoft Azure. Open up any device anywhere and you should now be […]

In the eye of the storm things are always nice and quiet. As is the case today at the Microsoft HQ. We’re sitting in a presentation room and have just finished presentations of all people attending Microsoft Insight while we are waiting for today’s big storm in the shape of today’s Microsoft live event. The […]

What a day. It has just been jam packed with presentations by really knowledgable and smart people, presentations of secret future stuff and interesting off-the-record discussions. The whole experience of being here at the Microsoft headquarters has been an eye opening experience in many ways. It’s amazing to walk around such a huge campus, which […]

Jetlag is an inevitable aspect of travelling to the states, but there are some tricks. Mine are to: Stay awake throughout the flight. Eat really heavy dinner upon arrival (magnificent ribeye steak last night + good Napa Valley cab). Push myself to stay awake until 10-ish local time. Morning run at 5.30 am. (10 km […]

First stop, Schipol airport in Amsterdam. Acute sugar low remedied with a quick Innocent mangoes and passion fruit smoothie. So far so good. Already I can say that HTML 5 is likely to be a big topic of discussion during these days. And perhaps not surprisingly, since it’s a nice platform-independent abstraction that WILL be […]

Sitting on the floor at the Arlanda airport waiting to check in. Our flight leaves in a couple of hours for Amsterdam, then on to Redmond, Washington and the Microsoft HQ. Looking forward to a truly exciting trip to one of the main temples of geekdom in the world.

I don’t get it. The folks at Google must be some of the smartest people on earth, but there are some things that they just don’t seem to get. Lust seems to be one of those things. While Facebook are the seduction masters of the internet world, luring people into pushing that magical “like”-button all […]

In this video by one of my favorite entrepreneurs Gary Vaynerchuck, Gary talks about “star-ups”, celebrity endorsed startups that have started popping up all over the place. I find this phenomenon interesting, albeit not new, but perhaps in a slightly different way than Gary. While I agree that we’ll be seeing more of this in […]

My motto has always been “To Challenge Authority”. Actually, I realize now that I did this even before I new what a motto was. But I think it’s an interesting rule of thumb for life and business since authorities by definition is some entity with higher status than they need to deliver on day to […]
